To the family of Tom Ringo
We are so sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed hearing Tom's stories of Gettysburg, history, and the railroads. Tom had such an enormous amount of knowledge in these areas.It is a shame he never recorded this knowledge to pass on to future generations.
Tom will truly be missed by all of us.

My fellow history loving friend. I was on Little Round Top today, thinking of you. I will miss our Civil War talks at the Legion very much. Still can't believe you are gone. God bless you and your family. Terribly sorry. Was such a pleasure to know you.
